Yeah no. It's OK. You Americans (regardless of beliefs) rarely examine cultures outside of your own.
You try and pretend that they are the same as yours (even other Western powers like France) and you end up with responses like you two give. Except esquilax isn't American.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Well then I was wrong on that one. Ooops. I just assume people who think at his level and have an acceptable understanding of the English language come from the US.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

This.. belongs in the hall of shame.
We were just talking about this in another thread fgs.
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
Quote:Some people deserve hell.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

Polaris is one big walking ad hominem.
But I guess when you're that dim, that's the best you can do.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Well if this is hall of shame material for making a stereotypical statement, then you'd need several hall of shame threads for this forum.

Good point. Make yourself a 'Hall of Shameful Polaris Ad Homs' thread and call it a day, then.

Someone has to balance the level of horeshit that comes from the main posters on this forum. They're like Christians.

I view them as American is when they start viewing other cultures as if they are just like their own and that people of foreign cultures should act just as they do.

Not to mention those of us, who got a good basic education and speak English as a second or third language..
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
